Adolescents
For this life stage, my practice focuses on building a trusting and secure therapeutic alliance, where my clients feel comfortable expressing their concerns and feel empowered to work toward change.
Through a strength-based approach, we creatively explore your self-understanding, explore your qualities, and help nurture the aspects that motivate you and generate well-being, while working to better understand and manage the aspects that may be holding you back.
Our work could explore such themes as:
Self-esteem and Self-image
Coping skills and time management
Ambivalence and Lack of motivation
Anxiety
Friendships and Relationships
Exploration of Gender & Sexuality
Loneliness
Confusion about the future
The experience of feeling misunderstood
Feeling disenchanted with school and expectations placed on you
Stress and overall pressures of life
Together we collaborate to stay curious and open about how best to lead a fulfilling life that feels aligned with your values and hopes for the future.
Through compassionate inquiry, trust, and a deep care for our humanity, I offer a space that allows you to notice and feel your presence, and from that place of awareness, identify what’s needed to achieve your goals.
